Top Tier EditorialSourcesBoston Magazine / Legal Sea Foods

  1. 1

    Legal Sea Foods - Harborside

    Seaport

    Boston Magazine's Best of Boston 2024 winner. Little-neck clams, chunky potatoes, salt pork — served at every U.S. presidential inauguration since 1981.

  2. 2

    Union Oyster House

    Downtown

    Operating since 1826 — the oldest continuously operating restaurant in the United States. Rich, creamy, packed with fresh clams.

  3. 3

    Neptune Oyster

    North End

    The no-reservations seafood counter that consistently tops Boston chowder rankings. Small-batch, broth-forward, served with oyster crackers and a dash of sherry.

    Saltie Girl

    Back Bay

    Tinned-fish-and-natural-wine spot with a chowder that consistently lands on best-of lists. Elevated seafood-bar version of the classic.
